Peace

By Tanushi Singh

I met all my feelings the other day

They asked me why do I keep

ignoring them whilst I live my every day.

I replied I didn't realize I was hiding them amidst living my mundane.

Fear and anger said their visits don't go unanswered.

Sadness and hurt confessed they

drop in from time to time,

yet stand invisible against the race of

duties verses time.

Gratitude and happiness also follow in line.

They often feel welcomed with arms wide.

Strength and courage find a way

to find their presence so tears don't

stay for long and sadness dissipates into fleeting death over time.

And love, so much of love just sits inside.

Not knowing how to emerge and declare it's presence , wonder why.

It's always present but silent as if shy.

Wish all my feelings stood utterly seen in all of its glory.

Every weakness every strength every emotion acknowledged and

accepted.

Compassion does try to keep them all in sync

Truth is to survive is to build a mirror that keeps me aware of what l'm

truly feeling inside.

Every itch every scar embraced and accepted as it is.

That's how peace will find a home

in my flesh and bones.

Craved in my existence beyond this lifetime.
